Yes, but is there a specific reason to support GEMDOS emulation for these
versions? I guess most demos that require specific TOS versions won't work
with them, anyway.

Yes, but that should be rather easy.

IIRC that are mostly two parts, one that is called early to do some
initialization (the reason why it is implemented as a cartridge module), the
other part handling the Pexec modes. At least the pexec stuff could as well
be moved somewhere else.
BTW interesting fact: while creating the list, i was astonished that the
offset for different languages (which is caused by special handling of alt-
keycodes in the bios for different keyboards) has remained the same for *all*
TOS versions, from 1.00 until < 4.00, where it had to be changed to support
multi-language. Apparently that code has never changed.
